The Adventureland Spring Roll Cart may be one of the most hidden Disney dining locations. It’s so secret that you usually won’t find it on a Disney park map. You can find this cart in Magic Kingdom, just before you enter Adventureland. The cart is located on the right-hand sign as you walk toward the Adventureland sign. Keep your eyes out because it’s not always open, but when it is, it offers unique flavors like pizza and cheeseburger spring rolls.

Disney Springs is home to a large selection of wonderful restaurants offering everything from quick service to fine dining. If you head to The Landing, you’ll find Enzo’s Hideaway, a 1920s-inspired speakeasy, hidden down the stairs across from Pizza Ponte. Grab a dining reservation to enjoy the fun atmosphere and great food here.
The Smiling Crocodile

If we head back to Animal Kingdom, we’ll find one more restaurant hiding in Discovery Island. This location is small but mighty. Dine on delightful street tacos, offered with pulled pork or chicken. Or try out the delicious Street Corn Tacos, only found here at The Smiling Crocodile. Keep your eyes on the menu because this restaurant has been known to offer seasonal menu items.
The Front Porch

Have you heard of The Front Porch at Disney Springs? We wouldn’t be surprised if you never have. This restaurant flies under the radar for most guests, but it should be on your list to try. Located right between the House of Blues Restaurant and Concert Venue, you’ll find this fun lounge. This is a great spot for some Smokehouse Nachos or a signature cocktail.
Fairfax Fare

This restaurant isn’t very hidden, but it’s definitely not as known as it should be. Fairfax Fare sits on Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This quick service restaurant is easy to overlook but offers unique and delicious menu options. If you haven’t visited, stop by to try one of their mashed potato bowls topped with everything from barbecued beef brisket to bacon macaroni and cheese. They even have soba noodle bowls, offering a delightful plant-based entree.
Tiffins Restaurant

Tiffins Restaurant offers an elegant Animal Kingdom dining experience. You’ll find this restaurant in Discovery Island, next to Nomad lounge, which shares a menu with Tiffins. Both locations offer delicious meals and unique dining atmospheres. If you’re visiting Tiffins, we recommend a dining reservation, but a walk-up list is also offered.
Oasis Sweets and Sips

If you blink, you may just miss this awesome snack spot in EPCOT’s Morocco pavilion. Oasis Sweets and Sips is located next to Spice Road Table and offers big flavors. Don’t miss out on the delightful Moroccan pastries and the Frozen Citrus-Promegranate Slushy. Guests over 21 can add Absolute Mandarin Vodka to the slushy for a refreshing twist.
